The announcement of the new PlayStation 4 Pro console has been supplemented with news of the all-new PlayStation Camera.
With news, details and specs regarding the Camera still to be announced by Sony, the console camera is suspected to be an add-on that will aid the brand's new VR experiences.
The PlayStation VR headset is set to launch on October 13th, which the Camera will likely be compatible with to help provide better tracking and fuller immersion in gameplay.
Regarding the design of the unit, the PlayStation Camera features a cylindrical design aesthetic that deviates from the previous model that was squared. Dual-cameras are flanked by what appear to be sensors that will likely be used to help track gamers as they sit or stand to partake in some video game action.
